I’m not going to argue that reaching traditional life milestones isn’t harder for a lot of young folks today, but that isn’t really the focus of the article in my opinion. A lot of the folks mentioned are from one or two generations prior, and took unconventional paths to get to their present life. A lot of wildly successful people say they didn’t really start to figure life out until their 30s or 40s. I think the spirit of the article is “you never know when your time might come”.
